TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Hyundai Ioniq is an affordable hybrid or plug-in hybrid that trades on its affordability rather than luxury.

The 2018 Nissan Leaf is improved in every way over its aged predecessor: it’s better-looking, nicer inside, and has more power and battery range, at a relatively affordable price.

TCC Likes

Variety of hybrid and electric choices
Normal, usable design
Intuitive controls

Normal styling inside and out
Excellent one-pedal driving
150 miles of range, better acceleration

TCC Dislikes

Cramped seating space
Plug-in range not as good as some competitors
Normal design may bore some

It’s a hatchback, not a crossover
No one will know it’s electric
Fast-charging network spotty at best
